How to add homepage sidebar on the right of Executive Pro Theme (Homepage only)

[rcserv2617]

Hi folks,

I'm working on a website for my client and its been going well so far. Well, except one thing. My client wants a right sidebar on the homepage and as I am using the Executive Pro theme I can't seem to be able to do that. Although I was forwarded this particular tutorial (http://brianlis.com/add-a-unique-sidebar-to-the-genesis-home-page.htm/) by the studio press team, it doesn't work. When I say it doesn't work, what I actually mean is that the sidebar is created but it shows up at the bottom.

Has anyone had any experience in doing this modification? Has it got to do with the fact that the page is forced to be full width? Ideally I would like the sidebar to appear right below the slider area (on the right of course). Any help would be very much appreciated.

Thanks a bunch (in advance)!

What happens if you remove the following line of code from line 21 in front-page.php

add_filter( 'genesis_pre_get_option_site_layout', '__genesis_return_full_width_content' );

Thanks. That helps. But only issue is that when I resize the browser to a smaller width, the sidebar moves below the contents. Is there a way to get around it?

Thats what is suppoed to happen.

See the Media Queries:

@media only screen and (max-width: 1200px) {

	.site-container {
		max-width: 960px;
	}

	.site-header .widget-area {
		width: 700px;
	}
	
	.content {
		width: 660px;
	}
	
	.sidebar-primary {
		width: 300px;
	}
}

@media only screen and (max-width: 1023px) {

	.site-container {
		max-width: 768px;
	}

	.content,
	.sidebar-primary,
	.sidebar-secondary,
	.site-header .widget-area,
	.title-area,
	.wrap {
		width: 100%;
	}
}

You can modify the values for the .content and .sidebar-primary classes
